Ever since the Donald Sterling scandal first emerged, racism in the NBA has been sensitive subject.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who is known for making bold statements, addressed the hot topic during an interview with Inc. magazine and it’s got a lot of people talking.

“We’re all prejudiced in one way or the other,” he explained. “If I see a black kid in a hoodie and it’s late at night, I’m walking to the other side of the street. And if on that side of the street, there’s a guy that has tattoos all over his face — white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere — I’m walking back to the other side of the street. And the list goes on of stereotypes that we all live up to and are fearful of.”

Cuban’s “black kid in a hoodie” comment of course harkens back to the Trayvon Martin tragedy. The NBA owner issued an apology on Twitter for his poor choice in words.
